The Moving MENBy Andrew and Matt

The Moving Man Lab:


Question: How does the mass affect the force required to move an object?
Hypothesis: The larger the mass, the more force required to push the object.
Independent Variable: Mass of the object
Dependent Variable: Force required to move the object
Constants: Gravity
Procedures:
  1. Apply as much force onto an object as possible.
  2. Observe the maxium oposing force.
  3. Add .1 to the maxium opposing force to get .1N of a force forward.
  4. Record your force results.
  5. Repeat steps 1-4 with the rest of the objects.

Conclusion: From the experiment, we concluded that when an object has a greater mass, the force required to push it was also greater. The relationship between the mass and the force was an exponental growth with a positive coralation.
